Now 5-7 with a 1.85 ERA overall, deGrom has a realistic chance to become the first pitcher in baseball's modern ERA to finish a season with a sub-2.00 ERA and fewer than 10 wins, and just the second to complete a year with more Wins Above Replacement -- he entered the night with 6.4, per Baseball-Reference's calculations -- than victories.

Ohtani progressingScioscia also said Shohei Ohtani has made progress in a throwing program as the two-way phenom tries to work back to pitching form. Ohtani last pitched on June 6 and was placed on the disabled list shortly thereafter with a UCL sprain in his right elbow.

Scioscia said Ohtani is playing long toss from about 105 feet and threw two bullpen sessions while in St. Petersburg this week, with hopes of returning to the mound sooner rather than later.

"He's had no setbacks, but realistically speaking, hopefully in a couple weeks," Scioscia said. "Once he gets out there to 180 feet, 200 feet, we'll start to get an idea how he's feeling and we'll see when the next step might come. It's a continuing evaluation. It might take a while for him to get where he needs to be with long toss."

SAN DIEGO -- Shohei Ohtani completed a 33-pitch bullpen session without incident on Monday. Ohtani estimated that he threw at about a 70 percent effort level, a higher intensity than his first session off the mound on Saturday.

"Everything went pretty well, just as I expected," Ohtani said. "It was a step forward, and that's a good sign."

Ohtani primarily threw fastballs, though he also incorporated three curveballs and three sliders. Ohtani has not yet thrown his splitter, as he feels it needs less work than his breaking balls, which are feel pitches.
